"Come out, come out. Marshal wants to see us if he has something to do!"
Li Muyi is a native of Bozhou. Because his surname is Li, he often calls himself a descendant of Laozi.
Although everyone doesn't know whether Li Laojun has any descendants, Laojun's descendants are obviously not as good as those of Kong Shengren. They have neither been crowned kings, nor have they said that they will be hereditary. Even the verification of Li Mu Neither the Song Dynasty nor the Jin Dynasty did anything about Yi's identity.
And like Li Muyi, a native of Bozhou with the surname Li, more than ten people say that he is a relative of Mr. Li.
With such an identity, although Li Muyi is just a policeman, he has always regarded Bozhou as his home... This is his home. To be precise, he regards himself as the guardian of Bozhou. By.
When Wang Yaksha came, he was a catcher. When Wang Yaksha left, Bozhou returned to the hands of the Jin people. He was still a catcher. This status as a catcher gave him a great sense of satisfaction and allowed him to be justified. Yes, he bosses his own people around and is very imposing.
Marshal Li has protected everyone well, and everyone knows that Bozhou City is currently in a state of turmoil. It must be those two Qiu Ba from Suzhou who are causing trouble again. Moreover, the intensity of the city's closure this time is much higher than that of the previous dozen times. It must be exaggerated a lot, which is enough to show the ferocity of the Southern Dynasty.
The name Southern Dynasty is a disparaging name for the Song Dynasty from the Jin Kingdom. It is the same reason that Zhang Tonggu called the Song Dynasty Jiangnan. Although Li Muyi was an extremely pure Han Chinese, he was still used to his role in the Jin Kingdom. Live in the territory.
Maybe earlier, he would have felt humiliated, angry, and sad, but now... he is indeed used to it.
Today we finally waited for the Southern Dynasty army to attack the city. This is the first time since the two sides fought for more than half a year that the other side has made such a big move. Li Mu received the order early in the morning and the people were not allowed to go out to avoid stray arrows and rocks. It was an accidental injury, and everyone in Bozhou was very cooperative. Li Qiong didn't need to explain, everyone stayed in their own houses honestly.
Listening to the commotion outside, it would be a lie to say that you are not curious. Which side has the advantage and which side has the disadvantage? This is very important to some big families in the city, and it is important to the next choice of their entire family.
Some of those who had received letters from relatives in Suzhou had been taken to and questioned by Li Qiong, but they all showed their loyalty and were more decisive, and even said on the spot that they would cut off all contact with their relatives in Suzhou. But the scene is the scene, everyone is not a fool, it's not that they don't believe in the Jin State, nor do they believe in the Song State too much, but at this age, it is better to believe in their relatives.
Li Muyi is not a rich man. He has no relatives in Suzhou and has not received any letters. However, he is also very concerned about the outside world. He keeps pacing in his yard and his mother-in-law scolds him for being a fool. Heli, a lousy policeman who has no arrogance and no good reputation, has to act like he has the final say in all world affairs.
Li Muyi was too lazy to get along with this rude woman. These women knew nothing about men's matters!
I just don't know if Bozhou City can be safe and sound with the Southern Dynasty coming. I also think that the Miao Zhu of Huasheng Temple in the city has been dead for several months, and no suitable person has been found to replace him. I wonder if the marshal has forgotten about it. , I have to take the time to say it again.
Just when he was thinking wildly, he heard someone talking outside. Li Mu immediately became furious. He had already told them not to go out on the street, but he still dared to do this, because he was not afraid of being punished for collaborating with the enemy!
Forget about other places, it was still in front of his house. Without a second thought, Li Mu opened the door and was about to ask, when he saw that the person coming was General Pan under Marshal Li. Although he didn't know General Pan. Why he appeared in the Minfang at this time, but this was not something he should be concerned about. He was about to retreat back, but General Pan shouted:
"Gather in the south of the city, bring your family, gather in the south of the city!"
General Pan didn't seem to know his agent very well, and Li Muyi didn't care. He heard the words "Gathering in the South of the City" clearly, and stepped forward and sang:
"General Pan, are you looking for someone? I am an agent of the Bozhou government office and a descendant of Mr. Li. If you have any orders, general, please do so."
Catcher?
General Pan looked at him: "Are you from the Huaihe River, or are you from Bozhou?"
Li Muyi cupped his hands and said, "I dare not hide it from you. None of Laojun's descendants are from other places, they are all local."
"Lao Jun has other descendants?"
"Most of them are fake, they can't be genuine, they can't be genuine."
"Well," General Pan nodded and said, "As a local and as a policeman, I know this neighborhood very well... Now that Marshal Li has something to talk to you about, I will send some people to you. You bring people to Nancheng door to door, don't miss anyone."
Li Mu agreed immediately, stretched his head and asked:
"General, the war is urgent and I need to wait for you. If that's the case, let the men go first. Women are timid and may be held back."
General Pan glanced at him: "It's a very important matter. I can't tell you for the time being. You just have to act as I'm told."
After a pause, he added: "The people know what Marshal Li is like. The Marshal will not harm you... I think he has other arrangements."
Li Mu kept saying yes, but his heart was already filled with turmoil. It was not that he doubted Li Qiong or anything, but with this attitude, the marshal was probably going to let the people out of the city to escape for their lives!
It had only been less than half a day, but the 40,000 defenders in the city could no longer hold on. The arrival of the Southern Dynasty army was really different from previous years!
After General Pan finished explaining him, he actually called twenty people to follow him...Master Tian, Infinite Heavenly Lord! When had he, Li Muyi, commanded so many people in his life? He couldn't even control his own daughter-in-law. He asked her to be at the bottom, but she was at the top.
At this time, the sense of honor and humiliation, sense of mission, sense of pride, and many other feelings were mixed in his body. Li Mu put on his police officer's uniform, carrying a knife with a blunt edge, and a gong in his hand. While beating:
"Come out, Marshal Li has something to do with us!"
Li Qiong's reputation is so great. As far as the Bozhou people's feelings towards him are concerned, the hundreds of people the city father volunteered to sacrifice their lives for are not particularly exaggerated. In the future, he, together with Laozi, Zhuangzi, Hua Tuo and Cao Cao, will build a local temple. It's not impossible.
After a while, many people poked their heads out. Most of them knew Li Muyi and just asked him what was going on... It was this feeling, this feeling of being in the spotlight, that made Li Muyi very comfortable.
If anyone was unfamiliar, he frowned and scolded: "I told you it's a big deal, why, Marshal Li will still harm you? If he wants to harm you, I'll give you a knife directly, why bother talking to you so much nonsense!"
Someone who was a little familiar with it looked enigmatic and said: "In short, bring valuable things with you quickly and don't leave anything behind."
If he meets a big householder in the city, he will give up and answer: "I'm afraid Bozhou can't be defended. Marshal Li is probably going to let us out of the city!"
Although this was just his guess, he had twenty sergeants at his disposal at this time, so everyone regarded his guess as the truth. The news spread more and more widely, and within a short time, nine out of ten of the 100,000 people in the city actually Most people knew about this.
It’s not without suspicion. For example, if you want to leave the city, you should go through the North City Gate. Isn’t the South City Gate the direction from which the Song Army came? But because he didn't know the situation outside, he didn't dare to make random guesses, so he put his suspicion back in his stomach.
Li Qiong stood on the city gate tower... This tower was also built by Cao Cao. It had to be said that no matter what Wei Wu was like, he really had nothing to say about his hometown.
The city gate tower of Bozhou has been erected for thousands of years. During this period, it has been continuously reinforced and repaired. It is now more than three stories high. Standing on it, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Bozhou.
Li Qiong looked at the moving people below, like ants, constantly shuttling in various alleys. He poured a glass of wine and put it into his mouth.
The wine was extremely spicy. Once it entered his throat, it burned all the way down and heated up his intestines.
"I haven't seen Nanshi for a long time... I said that Beiqun is empty. Just a hand on the spot, after all, I am a hero of ten thousand men~~ The Han Dynasty laughed at himself, like a vast river, still only flowing east. And when I returned to Qionglu to worship, I once went to Gao Street Meet."
He started reciting this poem, but he only got to the top of the poem, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Tea is still better, but unfortunately... I can no longer drink it.
